By: ~Rita~
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 1/2 cups flour

- 1 lb confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 375°F.2
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add in the eggs, two teaspoons vanilla, salt and baking powder. Add flour and milk in batches, starting and ending with flour. Stir until batter is smooth and satiny.3
Fill paper-lined muffin tins with batter. Bake at 375° for 18- 20 minutes.4
For frosting, whip together the box of confectioners' sugar, half-and-half, and one teaspoon vanilla until smooth and fluffy.5
Allow cupcakes to cool about 45 minutes and frost.6
*HINT* I added about one extra teaspoon of vanilla to the batter.7
This recipe didn't specify, but I used all-purpose flour.8
To the frosting, I added a bit more half-and-half to reach a thinner consistency.

These cupcakes are super light and fluffy, almost like a sponge cake. I used cake flour(I am not sure if that made a difference). I plan on making these again. Thanks for sharing.

These cupcakes are awesome! They're delicate, light, and fluffy, and sweet enough that you could probably leave the icing off and they would still taste great. I, like another reviewer, used Vanilla Buttercream Frosting #222188, and it was perfect. Thanks for posting!

I really enjoyed these! My boyfriend and I are huge fans of the beautiful and intelligent Amy Sedaris (and her family too!) so this was something we knew we'd love. Make sure that you use good quality vanilla extract as opposed to vanilla flavoring as it really makes a huge difference in the finished product. I'm glad that I opted for the expensive stuff. The cake part of these cupcakes is AMAZING and turned out perfectly. I think that this is the best recipe I have ever tried for the cake part of a cupcake. I wouldn't change a thing in this regard! My only gripe with this recipe is that the icing is a bit too sweet - all I tasted was powdered sugar, despite doubling the amount of vanilla and adding more half and half. I will save this recipe and make it many times in the future, but I will experiment a bit more with the icing as I think these would be best with a big gob of rich vanilla buttercream icing instead. Thanks for posting!

My friend makes these cupcakes all the time and they are amazing. I was checking Zaar to make sure it hadn't been posted, because if it wasn't up, I wanted to share it. Everyone should try these. I never knew a plain vanilla cupcake could be so good.
